If you could say anything to a former flame, what would it be? I miss you? Thank you? How could you? In his new book, Dear Old Love, Andy Selsberg compiled people's sentimental, indignant, outrageous — and anonymous — notes to former crushes and loves. Here are some potent snippets.

"You are the only person I ever enjoyed kissing."

"'I love you' doesn't count if you can only say it in email."

"I'm consoled by the fact that ... you will have very hairy children."

"You are a gigantic ass. And not the good kind of gigantic ass, like my ass."

"I don't care that you miss my dog. When you cheated on me, you cheated on him, too."
